Person run over by a vehicle and then pepper-sprayed in Nanaimo

BY , Jul 12, 2021 7:36 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Police in Nanaimo say a quote, ``marginalized person'' who was run over by a vehicle and then pepper-sprayed suffered serious injuries.

RCMP Constable Gary O'Brien says various witness accounts suggest the man was targeted on Saturday night as he walked down the street with his belongings in a shopping cart.

He says a black vehicle with several occupants stopped next to the man, spoke with him, sped up and then drove over him before someone got out and pepper-sprayed the 45 year old as he lay on the ground.

O'Brien says the vehicle sped away and witnesses were not able to get a licence plate number, in what he calls a troubling incident.
